ddHiFi HS110 Desktop Stand – United Force X Music Support
ddHiFi HS110 is a $43 USD stand for smartphones, music players and other accessories, designed to stand on your desk and keep those upright. Following an extreme demand from readers and youtube video viewers, I have decided to make an official review explaining what HS110 is and how it works.
Introduction
It feels like I’ve filled Audiophile-Heaven with reviews exploring ddHiFi products, but it is for a good reason, and this one goes to all the readers. ddHiFi makes high quality and affordable products that every audiophile and music lover needs, and then there are products like Hs110 which are as universal as they get, and cost much less than the competition, all while doing a much better job than the competition. As an Amazon Influencer, I earn from qualifying purchases, and using the purchase links in my reviews helps me maintain this website and Youtube Channel. A huge thanks to ddHiFi for providing us with the sample for this review.
PROs – Very strong construction, it is very balanced, offers good support for products and it does not scratch, nor does it scratch products, having multiple scratch protection pads.
Cons – Currently only comes in one color.

Build Quality/Aesthetics
ddHiFi made the Hs110 to be as universal as possible, and it has removable and slidable support pieces with a thick silicone padding to keep all objects safe from scratches or damage. The back of the Hs110 uses precision riveting and bearings with a resistance of 7-8 KGF-Cm. The base is removable and easily assembled with one screw.
As you can see from many of my recent reviews, I have used HS110 to support products up to 5 KG, and I’m talking about large amplifiers and DACs, many of which have a much heavier side where the power supply is, yet HS110 is very balanced and can fully support them.
Although the original idea for the HS110 was to place a smartphone on it, I would much rather use it for a tablet or DAP, as I don’t want to see the notifications on my smartphone constantly pop up.
Hs110 has a weight of about 180 grams, it is made of AL6063 aluminum alloy, and has silicone anti-slip pads. The base diameter is 100mm, and it has a thickness of 10mm. The height from the ground is about 50mm.
Subjective Usage
First thing I did with HS110 was to put my smartphone on it, and I thought that’s way too boring, so then I decided to just use it for DAPs while taking photos of them during my reviews. Then a thought crossed my mind – What if, if it sits flat, it could support something else. This escalated quickly from smaller to larger and larger objects, until I saw myself balancing flagship DAC/AMPs and Headphone Amplifiers on the Hs110. Now it is one of my most used accessories for taking photos of tech gadgets and audiophile products.
The screw that connects the base and the main support can get loose over time, so I would recommend having a screwdriver handy if the usage of HS110 is essential, and the maximum weight support is unclear, I wouldn’t go higher than 5Kg, for the sake of HS110 and the device. You can find in many of my reviews, including the one on Akko MU01 Mountain Seclusion keyboard how I balanced a keyboard on HS110, and more reviews are to come with me using the HS110, including the review exploring HeartField R1 R2R DAC.
Basically, this is the perfect headphone stand for me, really well designed. There are some silicone stoppers that can keep the support hands in place, but if you look really closely, the silicone stoppers were designed to just stop the sliders from falling out, and I had to force them to keep the sliders in place. Here are a few more photos we took of HS110
Value and Conclusion
ddHiFi strikes again, and offers HS110 at an affordable price point, yet they deliver a very solid product that is well-thought, and which has a superb build quality and versatile usage.
At the end of the day, if you need a desktop stand, look no further. In fact, while they’re in store, get a few, you can even keep a tablet, DAC/AMP and more on HS110, it is convenient, cool and can keep your things running cool or make them look beautiful in photos. This is one of my the accessories I recommend the most to everyone who’s interested about tech.
